[UPHPU] Gentoo Install

In /boot/grub (when /boot is mounted) there SHOULD be either a menu.lst or
a grub.conf.example or something like that.
For the record, here's mine, dualboot of Windows (hda) and Linux (hdb)
Also, when you run grub the first time, make sure boot is mounted. So if
your boot partition is hda1 this is pretty much what you'd do:
mount /boot
grub
root (hd0,0) # installs grub files to /hda1
setup (hd0) # installs grub on MBR
exit / quit / however you get out
my grub.conf:
# Boot automatically after 30 secs.
timeout 30
# By default, boot the first entry.
default 0
# Fallback to the second entry.
fallback 1
splashimage (hd1,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
# For booting GNU/Linux
title GNU/Linux
root (hd1,0)
kernel (hd1,0)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb3 video=vesafb
# For booting Windows NT or Windows95
title Windows NT / Windows 95 boot menu
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
